Am i Anorexic? Or developing Anorexia?

Anorexia nervosa: immoderate food restriction, low body weight, horrid eating habits, irrational fear of gaining weight and often paired with body dysmorphia.

As someone who has gone through this, nearly hospitalized, I’ll tell you it’s extremely idiotic and harmful but I understand. No one here can diagnose you properly, but I’d say you’re getting there. You need to go to someone for help, go to a school guidance counselor if you cannot go to your parents.

700-2100 calories a week is starving yourself. This is starvation.

Anorexia can and will bring to you a whole world of health problems and eventually, fatality. It’s not something to take lightly, and it’s definitely not a path to which you want to go down.

It really is rather sad that so many people, young teens, children like yourself are going through this.

The beauty of women come in all shapes and sizes, each unique and that’s the beauty of it. It’s not being stick thin, it’s not slathering truckloads of makeup on your face, it’s uniqueness and health. If you are unhealthy, it shows. People who are noticing that you are losing weight are not noticing it in a good light. They are noticing that you have begun to look unhealthy which itself, is unattractive. When you are unhealthy, you look sickly thin, eyes sullen, pale, tired, etc, when you are healthy there is a glow around you.

You want to be pretty right? Anorexia is not pretty appearance-wise. Your hair will start falling out, dry, pale skin, brittle nails, if you continue this way long enough, not to mention all the health hazards of this; infertility, brain damage, cardiovascular problems, major body system shutdowns, bad immune system, death, etc.

So I urge you, talk to someone, get yourself some help. If not your parents talk to a counsellor, even your friends’ parents or older siblings. Trust me, I’ve been there it started for me around your age and at 20, I am still struggling with it.
